Anthony, Thanks for trying the webstart version of the IDV. We are currently transitioning the IDV to Java 7, and unfortunately the webstart version of the IDV is in need of attention. This is high on our priority list, but will take a bit of time. In the meantime, please use the regular desktop version of the IDV. http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/current/index.jsp Best Wishes, Unidata IDV Support > Hi > > Tried the JAVA IDV browser app. > > > Here is the backtrace from the failure.
